About this model
About the Yamaha YZ 490
The Yamaha YZ490 is the air-cooled 489cc open-class motocrosser of the 1980s. It succeeded the YZ465 and does not belong with the much lighter YZ360. Its large single delivers forceful two-stroke power for motocross circuits and needs an experienced rider and careful maintenance.
Inspect compression, crankshaft, cylinder head, carburettor and chain guidance critically. Check frame, engine mounts, swingarm, fork and brakes for previous hard use. The 490 is circuit machinery; buy on mechanical condition, original model code and documented rebuilds, not shiny plastic panels.

- Inspect engine mounts, frame, swingarm and chain guide for cracks, play or hard motocross damage.
- Check fork, Monocross shock, bearings and brakes for leaks, seizure or age.
